Current status of secondary education (chapter one) summarizes the performance of public schools in Guyana against the Ministry of Education (MOE) policy on universal secondary education (2002), trends evident in the annual statistical digests, and the broad issues presented to Senior MOE officers on 13 December and to the Minister on 19 December 2007. Improving secondary student participation (chapter two) examines national and regional trends in population, enrollment, low levels of apparent transition from primary to secondary schools, poor secondary school entry examination (SSEE) results and issues related to the "size" of secondary schools. Upgrading and qualifying teachers (chapter three) identifies small school enrollment issues in earlier chapters with the enrollment required to offer a viable secondary curriculum, improve teacher qualification/training and reduce attrition rates. Student learning outcomes (chapter four) links poor student attendance, poor primary (SSEE) examination outcomes, limited secondary curriculum offerings, low rates of survival from grade 7 to grade 11 to the reported CXC results for Guyana. Schools and infrastructure (chapter five) presents the assessment that low student "demand" and a shortage of qualified teachers prevents Guyana achieving USE. Increasing the "supply" of secondary school places would not achieve USE unless other investments are made to improve the pool of suitably qualified students. Secondary education resources and budgets (chapter six) reviews education expenditure as aproportion of budget and the salary/non-salary recurrent expenditure for primary ("Tops") and secondary schools.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC YEARACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATIONATTENDANCE RATESAVERAGE ATTENDANCEAVERAGE ENROLLMENTBASIC EDUCATIONBOARDINGBOARDING FACILITIESCAPITAL FUNDINGCLASS SIZECLASSROOMSCOMMITMENT TO EDUCATIONCOMPLETION RATESCOSTS OF EDUCATIONCURRICULACURRICULUMCURRICULUM REFORMSEDUCATION DEPARTMENTSEDUCATION EXPENDITUREEDUCATION FINANCEEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION GOALSEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION STRATEGIESEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL EFFECTIVENESSEDUCATIONAL OUTCOMESEDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCEEDUCATIONAL RESOURCESELEMENTSEMPLOYMENTENROLLMENTENROLLMENT BY AGEENROLLMENT RATEENROLLMENT RATESENROLMENT RATEENTRANCE EXAMINATIONEXAMEXAMINATION COMMISSIONEXAMSFEMALE RATESFEMALE STUDENTSFEMALE TEACHERSFORMAL TEACHINGGENDER DIFFERENCESGENERAL SECONDARY SCHOOLSGERGIRLSGRADE ENROLLMENTGRADE REPETITIONGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATEGROSS ENROLLMENT RATESHIGH RATES OF REPETITIONHIGH SCHOOLHIGH SCHOOL STUDENTSHIGH SCHOOLSINDUSTRIAL TRAININGINSTRUCTIONLEARNERSLEARNING OUTCOMESLEARNING · · COMPETENCIESLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLITERACYMINISTER FOR EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNERNET ENROLLMENTNEW ENTRANTSNUMBER OF SCHOOLSNUMBER OF STUDENTSNUMERACYNURSERY SCHOOLSOLD STUDENTSOLDER CHILDRENPARTICIPATION RATESPERFORMANCE IN MATHPRIMARY COMPLETIONPRIMARY COMPLETION RATEPRIMARY COMPLETION RATESPRIMARY EDUCATION OUTCOMESPRIMARY EDUCATION QUALITYPRIMARY EDUCATION UNIVERSALPRIMARY ENROLLMENTPRIMARY ENROLLMENTSPRIMARY GRADEPRIMARY GRADESPRIMARY NET ENROLLMENT RATEPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL GRADUATESPRIMARY SCHOOL LEAVERSPRIMARY SCHOOL OUTCOMESPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIMARY STUDENTPRIMARY STUDENTSPRIMARY TEACHERPRIMARY TEACHERSPRIVATE SCHOOLPRIVATE SCHOOL SECTORPRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENTSPRIVATE SCHOOLSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC SCHOOLPUBLIC SCHOOLSPUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLSQUALIFIED STUDENTSQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY LEARNINGQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF TEACHINGQUALITY PRIMARY EDUCATIONQUALITY SECONDARY EDUCATIONREADINGRECURRENT EXPENDITUREREGIONAL EDUCATIONRELUCTANT LEARNERSREPETITION RATESRESOURCES PER STUDENTRETENTION OF STUDENTSRURAL AREASRURAL SCHOOLSSCHOOL AGE POPULATIONSCHOOL CONSTRUCTIONSCHOOL DATASCHOOL ENTRYSCHOOL FACILITIESSCHOOL IMPROVEMENTSCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANSCHOOL LEAVERSSCHOOL PLACESSCHOOL SIZESCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL SYSTEMSSCHOOL TYPESSCHOOL YEARSCHOOL-AGESCHOOL-AGE POPULATIONSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSECONDARY CLASSESSECONDARY CURRICULUMSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY EDUCATION PROGRAMSECONDARY EDUCATION SYSTEMSECONDARY ENROLLMENTSECONDARY ENROLLMENTSSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL AGESECONDARY SCHOOL ENROLLMENTSECONDARY SCHOOL LEAVERSSECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTSSECONDARY SCHOOLINGSECONDARY SCHOOLSSECONDARY STUDENTSSECONDARY TEACHERSSMALL SCHOOLSMALL SCHOOLSSTUDENT ATTENDANCESTUDENT ENROLLMENTSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT LEARNING TIMESTUDENT OUTCOMESSTUDENT PARTICIPATIONSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT PROGRESSSTUDENTS PER TEACHERSUBJECTSSUPPLY OF TEACHERSTEACHERTEACHER COMPETENCYTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER KNOWLEDGETEACHER QUALIFICATIONSTEACHER RATIOSTEACHER SUPPLYTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER TRAINING CURRICULUMTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING RESOURCESTECHNICAL EDUCATIONTECHNICAL INSTITUTESTEXTBOOKSTRAINING CENTERSUNIVERSAL ACCESSUNIVERSAL ACCESS TO SECONDARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL SECONDARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITY DEGREEUNTRAINED TEACHERSUPEUPPER SECONDARYURBAN SCHOOLSYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/12327
